Mitch Daniels Leadership Foundation Announces Fellowship Class IX
INDIANA — The Mitch Daniels Leadership Foundation (MDLF) announced today its Class IX Fellowship cohort, welcoming 25 established leaders from across Indiana into its flagship two-year leadership development program.
The MDLF Fellowship brings together professionals committed to strengthening Indiana’s future through principled leadership rooted in individual liberty, personal responsibility, and the importance of private enterprise. These Fellows represent 11 industries and eight counties and will spend the next two years engaging in rigorous learning, statewide travel, and collaborative discussion focused on Indiana’s most pressing systems-level challenges.
Class IX Fellows will participate in a curriculum featuring expert-led lectures, case studies, and Socratic-style discussions at Liberty Fund, exploring Indiana’s economy, education, health, and civil society systems. Each Fellow will also complete a Capstone project to develop real-world solutions that improve the lives of Hoosiers.
“The MDLF Fellowship creates an experience for individuals from diverse backgrounds and professions to work together to address local and statewide challenges,” said Maureen Weber, MDLF Fellowship Committee Chair. “We are enthused about the thoughtfulness, energy and ingenuity teeming from this class of business and civic leaders and we’re looking forward to supporting their progress as they drive change across Indiana.”
Fellows will begin the program this spring and will join MDLF’s growing alumni network of leaders working across sectors to make Indiana the best place to build a future. Since launching in 2016, the MDLF Fellowship has grown into a statewide network of 190 Fellows representing 32 counties, united by a shared commitment to driving measurable impact across Indiana.
Congratulations to the new Class IX Fellows!
